Got mine today too (a day earlier than the tracking info predicted). I didn't fly the drone (rain!), but I did put one of the filters on to test the fit. It was good.

Just got tracking info on my Freewell filter order. They are coming Fedex from China. Will be here in three days. I should be so lucky with shipping in the USA!

I ordered a set from Freewell at the end of September. I got a notice yesterday that they have shipped.

Perfect! Thanks for the confirmation.

My question for this group is whether, to get my controller repaired by DJI, I should also return the drone. Here's the background for why I'm unsure. Having just gotten my mini 4 pro fly more package this last week, I managed to damage my new RC 2 controller (embarrassingly, I dropped it...

I found the Freewell filters to be solid quality for the Mini 3 Pro. I've had Polar Pro for my Mavic 2 Pro. They are superior. From all I have read, the Freewells might not compete with Polar Pro for all drones, but on the minis, they appear to be as good or better. I have the Freewells on...

One small joy for me on is being able to directly connect the M4P to my MacBook with a USB-C cord. The MacBook sees the M4P as a drive and I can transfer the files to the Mac, the cloud, or an aux drive connected to the Mac. No need to turn on the M4P. Simple and sweet.

Heck. I tried the DJI holder that came on the m4p. Not totally bad. But clunky compared to what I’ve done on past drones. Try these (1) silicone rubber bands (available for cooking); (2) soft ponytail bands (available anywhere); and (3) a simple Velcro wrap. Everything aftermarket I’ve seen...

Done!

AR = Augmented reality Makes a lot more sense in the drone context than a reference to a rifle manufacturer.

I received my Mini 4 Pro late afternoon today. Ordered from DJI. I've been a bit apprehensive because I've never been such an early adopter with a drone. I had a Mavic 3 Zoom, which I swapped out for a M3Pro, and I've lived happily ever after until getting a Mini 3 Pro in early Sept because I...

Beautiful shots!

The 10 percent off coupon works for Amazon, but not the 20 percent off code. For a total of 30 percent off, should the 20 percent off code also work at Amazon checkout?

Hmmm . . . South American river. What retailer might that be? 😉 I think probably the same retailer I bought Freewell ND filters from. And since the M3P filters don’t fit the M4P, I’ll be returning them in that same 30 day return window. Freewell’s website says the M4P filters should start...

I have a Mavic 2 Pro, which has been rock solid and has been dazzling with its camera quality for about 3 years. I recently bought the Costco Mini 3 Pro fly more package. Two reasons to buy it: (1) the FAA’s remote ID requirement was scheduled to go into effect in mid-Sept and it looks like...
